All is well at the Clown House

Friday, April 28th, 2006

Despite some scary and somber times last October, I’m happy to report that bikey shenanigans and mayhem are alive and well at the Alberta Clown House. Last night was the first warm and dry Last Thursday celebration of the year and the Clowns and all their friends took full advantage.
The Mud […]

Thursday, April 27th, 2006

Wanted to point out today’s Oregonian article on the new bikeway network signs. For most of you, these signs are old news.
What’s cool about the article (besides the nice photo) is that I believe it’s the first time a comment on BikePortland.org has been quoted in the Oregonian.
Here’s the last paragraph of the […]

I’m excited to announce that BikeCraft is coming to the Multonomah County Bike Fair (MCBF). MCBF is the biggest, baddest bike party of the year and what better place to feature Portland’s bevy of bikey artists and crafters?

Last December, the first-ever BikeCraft was a huge success. People packed […]

Commuters prefer the cemetery because alternate routes like Barbur Blvd. and Terwilliger Blvd. are full of high-speed motorists. Recreational cyclists like the scenery and access to the Waterfront Trail and […]

In addition to a ton […]
